This study determined the degree of implementation of the State mandated and approved Leon County Administrator Assessment to assess its impact on the elementary, middle, high, vocational and district administrators in a supervisor-supervisee role in the district using it. The study utilized the Concerns-Based Adoption Model so a greater understanding of the factors that affect successful adoption of an innovation can be studied. / The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which the performance appraisal process, the Leon County Administrator Assessment, is being used (Levels of Use) by the Leon County administrators and their specific concerns (Stages of Concern) associated with it. / One major finding of the study was that Levels of Use for the performance appraisal process, the Leon County Administrator Assessment, were higher than the Stages of Concern for administrators in the study. A second finding was that administrators with previous experience using the process of performance appraisal had higher Levels of Use in the study than other administrators. / It is concluded that most administrators either by choice or external influence, are using the performance appraisal process on a routine basis with changes based on individual or group needs. Their concerns indicate the need for more awareness or information about the process and an understanding of their personal status in relation to it. / The need for more awareness and information about the process, the experience administrators have with performance appraisal and how they view themselves as users should be utilized by the change agent(s) to prescribe specific interventions and strategies to improve implementation of the performance appraisal process in the district. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 53-03, Section: A, page: 0671. / Major Professor: Richard Kraft. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1992.
